Getting active - 5 free sessions!

Nordic Walking

From the fit to those with medical problems Nordic Walking has huge health benefits. One of the major benefits is that that Nordic Walking combines exercise with the great outdoors, a wonderful way to get a bit of fresh air. We are offering 5 free Nordic Walking sessions to any cancer patients that fancy giving it a go!

Here are just a few of the health benefits;

• Uses 90% of your major muscles, equivalent to swimming,
• Tones the upper and lower body at the same time,
• Burns up to 46% more calories than ordinary walking,
• Use of specialised poles can reduce pressure on the joints, especially the knees,
• It is one of the most effective cross training techniques,
• Specialised poles propel the walker along, making it easier to move faster without feeling the effort.

Nordic Walking can be done anywhere and is suitable for all ages and fitness levels. It is easy to learn, inexpensive and very social – participants can chat as they go! If you would like to sign up or enquire about the sessions please contact us, we’ll be more than happy to help put you in touch with the leader, Karen Heldt.
